UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

WILLIAM H. GALVIN, OF OTTAWA, ILLINOIS.

BOB-SLEIGH.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.33'7,827, dated March 16, 1836.

Application filed September 6, 1884. Selial No. 142,388. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. GALVIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ottawa, in the county of La Salle and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bob-Sleighs, of which the following is a specification, to wit:

This invention relates to an improvement in bob-sleighs; and it consists in certain peculiarities of construction and arrangement of the same, substantially as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side view of a vehicle fitted with my device, and Fig. 2 is a view of the invention separate.

A represents the short runners of a bob, connected by a beam and knees a a in one piece, as in Fig. 2. This beam and bob are secured to the axles B of a common wagon ofany desired kind by clips at a, which also secure the ends of the braces b b, which are carried forward and backward to the runner A, as shown. These bobs are clipped to the axles of a vehicle, and are carried there throughout the winter, and do not interfere with the use of the wheels at any time desired, and are always in place when needed.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination, with the wagon-axles B, of the runners A, provided with connecting beams and knees made in one piece, the clips a a, and bracesb b, the said braces being carried backward and forward of the runner, as described, all constructed and arranged substantially as shown and described, and for the purpose set forth. new

In testimony whereof I'affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

\VM. H. GALVIN.
